Mountain Village Xiao Shennong

Chapter 409 Making a Stone Mill
After picking a small basket full of persimmons, He Chang jumped down from the tree and said to Si Xia:

"Let's go, let's go back and see what's harvested in the cage, let's cook delicious food together!"

Si Xia reached out and took a persimmon from the small basket that He Chang was carrying, with a bright smile on his face, he said:
"This persimmon is so delicious, I want to eat it!"

He Changzai had a serious face, and said:
"Si Xia, it's better to eat less of these cold persimmons, otherwise it's easy to cause stomach upset!"

Si Xia glanced at He Changzai, and said, "Aren't you a miracle doctor, can't a small stomach upset be cured?"

He Changzai said in a deep voice: "No problem, I will massage, and I will do it for you when the time comes!"

"That's about the same. Besides, I have always been in good health, and I don't necessarily have a stomachache!"

Si Xia said something, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, he started to eat the persimmon in his hand.

After a while, the two walked to the river.

He Changzai walked to the place where the ground cage was placed, and slowly pulled the ground cage out of the water.

Si Xia at the side saw many lively fish in the ground cage, and said excitedly, "The cage exploded, so happy!"

He Changzai took the larger fish out of the ground cage one by one, including a carp weighing five or six catties, three large catfish over one foot long, two grass carp weighing over three catties, and several local fish. triple marlin.

He kept the big ones, and released all the small ones.

In the live broadcast room, a group of water friends saw so many fish, they typed and discussed.

"Brother, this place is really rich in wild resources!"

"Yeah, if I were from my little brother's place, I would be a wild anchor!"

"As the saying goes, what my little brother got was pure wild fish. These fish must taste extremely delicious!"

"The last time my little brother made fish soup, this time there is a high probability that he will make grilled fish. When I think about the grilled fish that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, my mouth is watering!"

"Didn't my little brother say he was going to make sweet potato and persimmon cakes? I'm looking forward to seeing him make cakes!"

"A piece of sweet potato and persimmon cake, a bowl of fish soup, eating, drinking, and a good night's sleep can be said to have reached the pinnacle of life!"

……

Si Xia said: "There are so many fish, enough for us to eat until we drive back... It would be great if Sister Meijuan came over together, we can happily have a big meal together!"

"It's okay, Song Meijuan hasn't left yet, there are plenty of opportunities for us to have a picnic together!"

He Chang took out the carving knife from his waist, cleaned up the fish, put them all into the ground cage, and walked to the stove with the ground cage and the small basket containing persimmons.

Then, he put down the small basket and the ground cage, and went down the cliff with a carving knife.

Looking at He Changzai's back, Si Xia asked:
"He Changzai, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to make a stone mill!"

He Changzai said something, walked quickly to the bottom of the cliff, picked a stone that rolled down from the mountain, and was of a suitable size, cut it into two pieces with one knife, and began to carve the stone mill.

In the live broadcast room, a group of water friends typed and discussed.

"Brother, this knife skill is so smooth and flowing that people can watch it. It is simply a kind of artistic enjoyment!"

"From my brother's focused expression, I can feel his love for life!"

"This stone mill is amazing, who can tell me how it works!"

"Let me introduce myself first. I am an ancestral stonemason. Let me tell you about the principle of stone milling... Stone milling means that there are regular grooves in the upper and lower stones, and the middle is deep and the outer is shallow. There is still a certain gap in the middle. , when the beans go down inside, they first enter the gap in the middle part according to the carved chute channel, and with the rotation of the stone above, the beans will be ground into powder!"

"Master is worthy of being a master, you have been taught!"

"Look at the potter's wheel for fetching water in ancient times, the drum cart for watering the ground, and the curved plow, all of which symbolize the wisdom of the ancient working people. It's a pity that the production skills of some old objects have been lost!"

"No way, as society progresses, some things will always be eliminated. Some things can only be seen in photos after many years!"

……

Not long after, He Changzai finished carving the two stones, jumped onto the cliff, and cut a thuja.

Made an internal shaft for turning, and a handle for turning the stone mill.

He Changzai put the carving knife on his waist, took these things, went to the river to wash them, and assembled the stone mill.

Then, holding the finished stone mill, he went to the stove and placed it on the ground.

Si Xia, who was standing at the door of the wooden house looking at the scenery, saw He Chang coming over with a stone mill in his arms, and walked to his side.

She took a look at Shi Mo and praised:
"He Changzai, the stone mill you made is really beautiful. If I want to drink soy milk in the future, I can grind some by myself!"

He Changzai smiled lightly, went back to the wooden house, and took out the sweet potatoes that the old woman had given him and washed clean.

He took out the carving knife at his waist, cut it into small pieces, put it in a stone mill and ground it into powder, and said to Si Xia:

"Go get some water from the stone pot next to the stove!"

Si Xia nodded, and walked towards the river with the stone pot.

He Changzai acted quickly, and quickly ground all the sweet potatoes into powder, and put them in plastic bags containing sweet potatoes.

Next, he looked at the wet firewood on the ground and felt a little embarrassed.

He was about to take out his phone and buy some Yaoyang Stone scones, but when he thought about the live broadcast, he couldn't reveal his biggest secret.

So, a pile of firewood was dried with zhenqi.

In the live broadcast room, after seeing this scene, a group of water friends were all dumbfounded in shock, typing one by one, and immediately swiped the screen.

"Brother is amazing, is this internal strength? It can even dry wet wood!"

"Nonsense, how can there be such a strong internal strength, I think it should be true energy!"

"Fuck, my little brother is a cultivator, it's really amazing!"

"Brother, you are really an unfathomable hidden master!"

"Little brother is too low-key. I think he still has a lot of abilities that haven't been shown in front of our fans. I decided to keep following him until the moment when his mystery is revealed!"

……

After drying a pile of firewood with zhenqi, He Chang poured the sweet potato noodles in the plastic bag into the stone pot that Si Xia brought over to hold some water, and kneaded a large ball of noodles.

He peeled the persimmons in the small basket one by one, threw them into the stone pot, and mixed them with the sweet potato noodles inside.

After reconciling the noodles, He Chang said to Si Xia, "Lighten the fire and prepare pancakes!"

"Okay, but I don't have a lighter, and I'm always using you... Forget it, I'm going to give the fans in the live broadcast room a drill to make a fire today, so that everyone can see the strength of my local sister!"

Si Xia looked full of pride, and began to look for wooden sticks, drill boards, and ignition fuel, ready to drill wood to make fire.
